this song, after hearing it again and reading the lyrics, is basically about the destruction of the Jewish and christian faiths and the reincarnation of paganism. here are three examples to prove my theory:
... and saturn rapes faith's lovelorn diva. saturn refers to the father of all the gods in Greek mythology, and "faith's lovelorn diva", in my opinion refers to the virgin mary.
"for thee Endymion i forsake the serements of this star flung tomb" refers to the Greek mythological account of the titan goddess of the moon Selene fell in love with the youth.
the Shekhina is in exile and the Israelites enslaved to shame. a shekhina is the feminine term for a Jewish House of worship and an israelite is a jewish person.
this song is also peppered with the names of other pagan gods and goddesses throughout,such as xul, Lilith, and Diana to name a few.
